5.Data Analysis

6.Journal paper publications (Review/Empirical research paper)

7.Thesis writing

2.Stages of PhD involved for the Engineering Domain:

Candidates who have completed their Masters in Engineering domain like to proceed with their doctorate degree.

Following are the stages involved in the Engineering domain:

1.Base paper suggestion

2.Problem Identification

3.Topic Formulation

4.Proposal/Synopsis development

5.Implementation/Simulation work

4.Dataset collection (Not every project will require dataset.)

4.Journal paper publications (Review/Research paper)

5.Thesis writing
